FORM OF CONCORD, in ecclesiastical history, a standard book among the Lutherans, compiled at Torgau, in 1576, and thence called the book of Torgau, and reviewed at Berg by five Lutheran doctors of Germany, the principal of whom was James Andreae. This book contains, in two parts, a system of doctrine, the subscription of which was a condition of communion, and a formal and very severe condemnation of all who differed from the compilers of it, particularly with respect to the majesty and omnipresence of Christ's body, and the real manhood of his flesh and blood in the eucharist. It was first imposed on the Saxons by Augustus, and occasioned great opposition and disturbance. The dispute about it was revived in Switzerland in 1718, when the magistrates of Berne published an order for adopting it as the rule of faith; the consequence of which was a contest, that reduced its credit and authority.
